Description
You can request that portfolios be submitted for course assignments in Blackboard Original. Portfolios are an invaluable tool in academic and professional development. They provide a powerful medium for users to efficiently collect and organize artifacts representative of work completed over time. Portfolios offer a means to demonstrate formative and/or summative progress and achievement. Portfolio authors are empowered with tools to effectively present their information in a cohesive, personalized format.
Note: When a student submits a portfolio assignment, the submission is a snapshot of the portfolio at that moment. If the student edits the portfolio after it has been submitted, you will not see those changes.
